Cool Green Morning: Friday, November 6
U.S. fish stocks defecting to Canada? We can just see it now on Lou Dobbs Tonight…but remember where you heard it first — Cool, Green, Morning. Have a great weekend!

Cool Green Morning: Wednesday, November 4
This edition of Cool Green Morning is all about bringing people together, like Glenn Beck and PETA, who are bonding over their mutual dislike of Al Gore’s diet.

Cool Green Morning: Friday, October 30
What’s more frightening than more Americans getting their news from Jon Stewart than a newspaper?

It’s real scary stuff, kids, so we put it last in this morning’s Coolness to give you a good fright for the weekend! [...]

Climate Change Legislation: Adaptation Sees Movement in the Senate
Momentum is building on Capitol Hill for addressing a crucial piece of the climate change puzzle — ecosystem-based adaptation.

Cool Green Morning: Thursday, October 29
Does a “green” job make you an environmentalist? Will the world come forward and pay Ecuador not to drill for oil in the Amazon? And how do birds know where to migrate to anyway? We don’t promise all these questions will be answered, but we do guarantee you’ll get the hottest green news links around, or [...]

Halloween is hurtling at us like a thrown pumpkin…but there’s still time to duck and get the latest green news of the day…including how urine could hold the key to cheap auto fuel. (Remember: Practice safe gourd smashing this holiday.)

Cool Green Morning: Friday, October 23
Some days you wake up and find everything you’re doing and believing is wrong — like eating tomatoes or thinking your fellow Americans trust the scientific consensus that man is causing climate change.

Cool Green Morning: Wednesday, October 21
A UN climate negotiator tries to deflate our hope for Copenhagen. The government of the Maldives holds a meeting underwater, practicing for the day when the archipelago nation might actually be underwater. Oh, and remember air pollution?
